SHUATS Reviews

SHUATS is India's oldest and the first Agriculture college of India. I opt for the MBA program because there are very few colleges that provide such courses and I am from a farmer family and our family also run a dairy business. So it was clear in my mind what course I have to go for. The admission is on the basis of a written entrance exam conducted by SHUATS and you should have a minimum of 60% marks in graduation from any recognized university followed by PI round.

The curriculum of the college is good and according to the industrial norms. The curriculum is divided into 4 semesters and the difficulty level of the curriculum is medium. All the concepts are covered in the curriculum regarding the program and the faculties also make sure that all your concepts are cleared.

The internship is not mandatory if you are not interested in an internship you can submit a written assignment according to your topic. I was able to get an internship at Nestle but did not receive a stipend. Companies like Nestle, VNR, Syngenta, UPL visit the campus during the internship program.

The placement of the college is okay. The placement committee of the college is supportive and hardworking and they will guide you throughout the placement. The college is able to achieve a 100% placement record. Companies like Nestle, UNR, UPL, Pepsico, visit the campus during the placement drive. The highest package for our batch was 7 LPA and the average package was 4 LPA.

The program fees are not too high but the fee is hiked every year. The college also provides scholarships for merit students. The scholarship program is also available for SC/ST/PD students.

The campus life of the college is good. the cultural fest and the college also celebrate the festivals which is the main attraction point for students. Sports activities and competitions are also held in the college. Xpression is a 3-day cultural fest which is organized by the college. The library is full of books the only drawback of the books in the library is that most of the books in the library are outdated.

The hostel rooms are good. There are AC and non-AC rooms also the rooms are available on sharing and as well as single occupancy based on the price. During my course of time (2017-2019) the price for non-AC rooms was around Rs 26000-35000 and AC rooms price was Rs. 75000/-. The food of the mess is good but the menu is limited to certain dishes in the beginning you like but after few days you will get bored from the food menu. The hostel is equipped with all the basic facilities for students and high-speed WiFi connectivity is also available.

The faculties are very qualified and are very supportive. The faculty motivates the students to take part in sports activities as they believe that the overall development of a student's brain is important. Most of the teachers have industrial exposure which is very beneficial for the students.
